Mafia mentality. These dudes get wet for power hierarchies. Tell me what to do daddy. (I'm sorry if this is your kink)

It's the same intimidation and kickback/bribery plays as Al Capone, who was also notoriously ignorant and violent. It's not a plan that takes any intelligence or prediction so any nepo inheritance idiot or violent criminal, even Trump, can do it.

Jesus Fred Christ that guy gets more Pennywise by the day.

Hahahahaha Trump never learns. It backfired before and it will backfire again. Good job buddy, way to piss everyone off right before an election.

Oligarchs looking mighty tasty right now... Might be time to feast.

Congress should be locked in a room until they can pass a budget, no leaving for any reason until it is done. Sick of this shit. Their gyms are open during shutdowns, can you believe that?

They each get one bucket and a single sandwich. Use it wisely.

It’d be so sad if he had some kind of profound stroke on live tv

Certainly seems like he's working up to it right now.

Well would you look at that, a domestic threat that needs culling! Hot dog!

Such projection. Trying to drastically change the rules less than two months before Election Day, that’s rigging.
